Success was defined as no pleural fluid re-accumulation greater than that seen on the baseline CXR as evaluated by the surgeon. Success rates were compared using Fisher exact test.
Read MoreTalc can be administered via chest tube or by insufflation during thoracoscopy [1]. It works by inciting an inflammatory reaction that results in adherence of the visceral and parietal pleura [2]. CT after talc pleurodesis typically shows high-attenuation areas along the pleura, more often linear than nodular, that are often most prominent in ...

Read MoreThoracoscopic talc pleurodesis, talc slurry pleurodesis. Short name: Talc pleurodesis. Reason for procedure: Pleurodesis is performed in the presence of a pleural effusion. An effusion is a collection of fluid around the lung, in the space between the ribs and the lung. It puts pressure on the lung, collapsing it and causing breathlessness.

Read MoreObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness, safety and appropriate mode of administration of intrapleural talc for pleurodesis, in the treatment of malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Methods: Prospective not randomized trial was conducted to compare thoracoscopic talc poudrage (TP) with tube thoracostomy and talc slurry (TS) for the local control of malignant pleural ...
Read MoreTalc pleurodesis can be achieved either by thoracoscopic instillation i.e.; talc insufflation/poudrage (TTI) or via a bedside chest tube i.e. talc slurry (TS). Existing systematic reviews concluded that thoracoscopic talc insufflation/poudrage was more efficacious when compared to bedside chest tube talc slurry 4,5.
Read MoreOur primary NMA evaluating pleurodesis failure provided weak evidence that talc poudrage may have fewer pleurodesis failures than talc slurry via a standard chest drain (OR 0.50 (95% Cr-I 0.21–1.02)). However, pairwise meta-analysis of four statistically homogenous trials indicated comparable pleurodesis efficacy (OR 0.81 (95% CI 0.61–1.08)), further supported by a sensitivity NMA ...
Read MoreThoracoscopically insufflated talc ('talc poudrage', TP) is the preferred method in the opinion of many Authors [13, 17–19], but others advocate talc instillation through a chest tube ('talc slurry', TS) as a simpler and equally effective technique [7, 8, 20, 21].
